The Southeast Michigan BSD User Group meets monthly for presentations, discussions, socializing, and networking. Local BSD folks involved include BSD author Michael W Lucas and OpenBSD alumni Nick Holland.

Time and Location: 7 PM, Altair Engineering, 1820 E. Big Beaver Rd. Troy MI 48083 . We're in the Innovation Center, easily accessible from the front lobby. If you're not sure you're at the right place, once you go into the lobby you'll see a great big glowing triangular logo looming over you. It's highly impressive.

Followed by dinner at Leo's Coney Island fifty feet to the east. SemiBUG's most important rule: offend, upset, annoy, or inconvenience May the server and we will tie you up and leave you in traffic. No exceptions.

USUAL AGENDA: Meetings run something like this.

• Lucas tries to give the job of chairman to someone else
• Welcome and abuse of new members
• Jobs offered and needed
• Tech questions (no answers, only questions)
• Presentation
• Official meeting adjourns
• Dinner and answers to questions

MEETINGS AND PRESENTATIONS: Here's our next few months of presentations. Presentations are not recorded at this time. See the history page for old meetings.

SemiBUG has a shared Google Calendar of meetings. And a Twitter account, @semibug_ (note the trailing underscore).
